Chapter 1.

Introduction

Overview

The KH88 KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple

computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Before the

development of KVM switching, the only way to control multiple computer

configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly

network. Now, with the KH88, you can easily access multiple computers in a

cost effective manner.

A single KH88 can control up to 8 computers. Since units can be cascaded to

three levels, in a full three stage installation up to 73 KH88s can control up to

512 computers - all from a single console.

Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is

entailed. There is no software to configure, so there is no need to get involved

in complex installation routines or be concerned with incompatibility problems.

Since the KH88 intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware

platform and with all operating systems.

There are three convenient methods to access any computer connected to the

installation: (1) using the push button port selection switches located on each

unit’s front panel; (2) entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard; and (3)

selecting from menus provided by the On Screen Display (OSD). A powerful

Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the

activities of all computers running on the installation one by one.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a KH88 installation.

By allowing a single console to manage all the attached computers, a KH88

installation: (1) eliminates the expense of having to purchase a separate

keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each computer; (2) saves all the space those

extra components would take up; (3) saves on energy costs; and (4) eliminates

the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving from one

computer to another.
